~Flashback/End Flashback~

Shika's P.O.V.

We were miles and miles away from Konoha. We were in a small cave I found. The fire was going and Temari was cuddled up to me and my arm was around her. I was strangely happy. I mean even though I left everything behind I am still happy....I guess it's because of her. Dammit. I forgot about people coming after us. Even a freaking genius can't figure that out! I looked over at Temari. She had a little smile on her face and there were some blond strands covering her eyes. She was so vulnerable in her sleep.

" Hey Shika?" Huh. So she wasnt asleep after all.

" Yea?"

"...Are we going to be able to run away from the ninjas that chase after us?" I could tell she was scared even though it didn't seem like it.

" I hope so. I mean I'm not going to lie to you and say we are. There is a chance that they might get us." All I wanted was for her to be safe.

" Ok. I hope we get away. I don't even want to be near that guy." I chuckled. Her face just looked so funny when she said that last sentence.

" Why are you laughing at me?" I tried to speak to her but I couldn't stop laughing, now her face looked clueless.

Pretty soon we were trying to pin each other down in a fight. Well not an actual fight, I mean we were having fun. I pinned her down on the floor and we were both breathing hard. She was smiling and her eyes had this spark that made her glow. I leaned down and kissed her. We were making out and I was just about to try to take off her top then I heard a noise at the front of the cave.

" So this is what my fiance decides to do. Run away with..." He looked at me with disgust. " This stupid ninja."

I looked around and saw jonin ninjas all around us. Fuck. I looked down at Temari and she looked so depressed. I knew what she was thinking. She was going back and marrying the jerk leaving me. I kissed her this time. Might as well piss him off.

" Could you leave? We are in the middle of something." I said. I almost smirked because his mouth had fallen to the ground in shock.

"......YOU KISS THIS BASTARD AND NOT ME!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" He was yelling at Temari. My rage took over and I charged him with a kunai. Then something hit my head and I fell to the ground.

I could hear Temari screaming no and I sort of saw her above me with tears, I think? I saw someone grab her arms and drag her away from me. Then the world went black.

Temari's P.O.V.

Shikamaru charged at the prince. Then I saw one of the ninjas hit him in the head. It was a really hard blow. Then he fell to the ground. I ran towards him screaming not caring whether people saw me crying. " Come on Shikamaru....wake up." I whispered and he probably didn't even hear me. Then the prince grabbed my arms and tore me away from the one I loved.

" Sweetie....why would you run away? You were captured werent you?" I just shook my head not trusting my voice. " Well then what happened?"

I knew he was expecting an answer but I didn't know what to say. " Umm...I was nervous about the wedding....so I got scared and ran off. I couldn't go by myself so I brought one of my friends from Konoha with me." I wondered if that would even make sense. I wonder if he bought it.

" Then why the hell was he on top of you and you both were making out??" His rage was starting to come out. He didn't buy it.

" I....." I looked over at Shikmaru getting tied up. He was waking up and looked at me. He tried to speak.

" Mari?" Everyone looked at him. " I just wanted to say I'm sorry for not being able to protect you from that jackass and I love you more than anything else in the world." Then he blacked out again.

Of course I had to start crying even more. " He......loved......you?" The prince said. " You love him back don't you?" I nodded my head yes. I had to see a glimmer of hope. Maybe he would realize I didn't want to be with him. I wanted to be with Shikamaru. Maybe he would see this marriage is wrong.

" Well that's going to change. We will get married and be in love for the rest of our lives!" He then smacked me and started to drag me away. I felt as if I was being tied to a cannon ball and dropped in the ocean and I was drowning. Except instead of dying, I was forced to painfully stay alive even though I couldn't breathe. This marriage no this man was my hell. I realized that I was never going to be able to escape from him. He would be there all the time. Never leaving. I would never be happy.

I was going to die if he hurt me to much. I was going to leave the real man I loved. These thoughts just brought more silent tears.

Chouji's P.O.V.

I looked at the gate hoping to see my pineapple head friend. Truly I missed him. I know that sounds gay but we were friends since we were little. He was my best friend. Then I saw some figures. Maybe about 20 of them. I saw one figure carrying Shikamaru! On this white horse was Temari and the prince from the mist village. I saw Shikamaru up and looking very pissed off. He was glaring at something..or someone. I looked at Temari and the guy had his hands all over her! She was in his lap (somehow) and he was holding onto her for dear life. Her face though....it made me want to hit the guy.

She looked so depressed. It probably made Shikamaru want to kill the guy. When I say Shikamaru is mad...he's furious. I mean he looks ready to kill. I saw the guy lean down and lift her chin up and slowly kiss her. Shikamaru's expression turned to outrage. He started stuggling and his eyes...they had fire in them. I have never seen him so worked up before. I guess he really did love her.

Ino walked up to me. " Chouji...." I looked at her. She was also sad. What was with her? " They are locking Shika-kun up." No wonder she was sa-wait what?

" What do you mean Ino? Why would they do that???" I was starting to panic. My bestfriend locked up over a girl? Now that's just plain stupid.

" He ran out of the village...with no passport. He has to get locked up. The stupid mist village royal pain in the ass requested it. It's only until he and Temari leave the village. And that's gonna be after the wedding which it will be to late to stop them from getting married. Shika-kun is just gonna have to move on." She kind of smiled at this. I mentally sighed.

" Ino he is never getting over her. Never."

She smiled and had this evil glint in her eyes. " Never say never Chouji." With that said she winked at me and walked away. Great...now she's going to try and flirt with him and make me jealous without even knowing.

Some ANBU agents came by the little herd of people and grabbed Shikamaru.

" No! Don't take him away from me...please don't!" Temari was screaming and now crying. The mist village prince (gotta think of a name...hmm) just glared at Shikamaru.

" Sweetie it's for the best. You two need to stay away from each other. Forever. I mean you don't need him. You have me." He kissed her again.

" Get your filthy fucking hands off my girlfriend!" Shikamaru somehow escaped the ANBU agents and pushed the dude off his horse and catching Temari bridal style. He sweetly kissed her and happily I might add she kissed back. The guy now looked even more outraged and kicked Shikamaru's legs. He fell (which was actually pretty hilarious but in the current situation I would never say that). Temari rolling a bit aways from my bestfriend. Shikamaru was about to get up and get her but something stopped him.

Sand. Gaara's sand. Everyone could tell he was not happy about his sister getting married off to the pain in the ass but he had to let the marriage fall through because Suna didn't need war. That was the only thing getting in Gaara's way from killing him.

" Shikamaru..." Gaara looked down at him and kneeled next to him. I couldn't tell what he was saying but Shikamru looked sad, determined, and defeated at the same time. I'd ask him later when we were alone in the little jail dungeon place. Of course I was going to visit him. Pretty soon the ANBU agents were dragging him off. Everyone's eyes were looking at Gaara except for two pairs of eyes. Shikamaru was looking at Temari and she was looking at him.

They were a pair of star crossed lovers.

At least Romeo and Juliet got to end up with each other in heaven. These two didn't get that much luck.

~* 2 hours later *~

I walked in and saw Shikamaru leaning against the barred window looking at the starry night sky. No doubt that he was thinking of Temari and some way out of this. His hands were in their usual thinking postiton.

" Hey Shikamaru. You ok?"

He didn't move his head. " No. I'm thinking a way out of this fucked up mess."

Yep he was furious. " Well what did Gaara say to you earlier? You know before you got dragged to this dinky place."

" He said he would much rather see me at the altar with her than ' Mr. I-have-a-stick-shoved-up-my-ass' and if I really loved her that much I needed to figure out how to solve this whole damn problem." He started muttering to himself. I could makeout ' I miss her so much' and ' I'm going to rip that guy's throat off because he was touching her'.

" So...have you figured anything out?" I questioned. Secretely wanting them to get together.

He smikred. " Chouji." He began. " Your unlocking this door." I stared at him in shock. Me? " I want to have kids Chouji...with her not some other woman I don't even love. I want to wake up holding her and thinking how did I get this lucky? I want a girl and a boy. I want her to be Nara Temari....not Nanochi Temari or Sabaku no Temari. I want her. I need her. Can you please just this once and only time get me out so I can make her and myself happy? I'll do anything...anything Chouji." His fist balled up and I knew he hated begging.

"....fine Nara. But just this once." I had sarcasm hinting in my voice to let him know I was kidding about the just once thing. He looked at me and smiled. I grabbed the keys and unlocked the door. He walked out.

" Thank-you Chouji. Your the greatest friend anyone could have." He hugged me (as friends! I'm not gay!!!!). Then spoke.

" Chouji....we have a wedding to crash."
